Episode 235 Suspicion (2)
The next morning. The early hours before class 1 begins.
Dolores visited the newspaper club club room.
The dark circles under my eyes are no joke, probably because I couldn’t sleep all morning because I was dealing with agendas for the student meeting yesterday.
‘There’s too much work for the National Collegiate League next week. Do I have to stay up all night today…’
Colosseo. mage tower. Varangian. Themiscyra.
All the official organizations of the Colosseo Academy were busy with the approaching annual event held jointly by the four most famous top academies throughout the empire.
Of course, the same was true of the student council, with Dolores as its president.
But despite working all night, her eyes were now burning with enthusiasm.
‘I’m going to finish the club work in the morning and go to the lecture today. And since the class is long until the afternoon class, I’ll visit Bikir in the meantime…!’
Dolores vigorously opened the club room door and entered.
“Good morning everyone!”
Morning greetings from always lively Dolores.
but. The attitude of her classmates, who would normally have greeted her with a pleasant smile, is strange.
All of them were looking at Dolores with odd smiles on their faces.
“Spring is now coming to our Dolores.”
“A romance with a younger man is cool.”
“Younger~ Our Dolores is in a higher grade, but she is younger!”
“Anyway. I’m envious of a campus couple with a junior!”
“You don’t tell us! It’s really too much! Do you need to know about your best friend’s relationship through a newspaper article?”
……?
At the scolding of her third-year classmates, Dolores only blinks her big eyes.
yet. Dolores saw a newspaper article propped up before her eyes.
It was a single article reported by an article from another newspaper that infiltrated the inside of the academy as a newspaper published outside.
[Exclusive] A spring day of youth for the student president of Colosseo Academy?
– ‘Dolores Rune Quo Vadis’, known as the student council president of Colosseo Academy, has recently been found to be in a relationship
… Surprisingly ,
the opponent is group B, a freshman in the second grade… Group B has
attracted attention from the beginning of school with his extraordinary appearance and sexual motor skills…
The presumed feelings between the two…
It seems that they succeeded in dating after passionate courtship on both sides of Dolores… The
Quo Vadis family has not yet come up with any position on this…
Meanwhile Citizens of the ecliptic who saw Miss Dolores’ love like this showed reactions such as ‘It looks nice’, ‘They are pretty’, ‘I’m jealous, but as long as Miss Dolores is happy’, it’s OK… ”
… What is this?”
Dolores opened her mouth.
I wonder why there have been a lot of paparazzi that seem to have come in from the outside lately.
The third year classmates gathered around Dolores, devastated. “Hey, hey. This ‘student president’s man’ and ‘he who has a crush on a saint’ are listed here. He
‘s a freshman right?
Hey! Reticent and sincere! Above all, he is handsome!”
“I’m really sorry! You should have tipped us off! Then you could have helped earlier!”
“My Dolores~ I’ve been told that she seems strangely uninterested in men, but it turns out that she has high eyes, right?”
“I heard that a calm cat goes up to the stove first~ You! How dare you pass this sister!”
Girls Talk has started. It was a flow of conversation that was difficult for Dolores to adapt to.
“That’s not it! I’m just a little worried about him…! There’s more than one or two suspicious things!”
But Dolores’ excuses only fueled the misunderstanding.
“Yeah yeah~ That’s how it all started~ Little by little I got concerned~”
“I listened to the prologue~ Now what about the main story?”
“What? Bikir is suspicious? Actually, he’s suspiciously handsome. His eyes are suspicious, his nose is suspicious, his mouth is suspicious, his skin is suspicious, and he’s very human!”
“That’s right. Did you feel intimidated after seeing me dressed up as a witch at the festival last time?
Everyone who has ever seen Bikir dressed as a woman at a festival still talks about it.
Realizing that all excuses are meaningless in this flow, Dolores quickly left the club room.
“Ugh… This makes it harder to find.”
Meeting Bikir seemed like something I would have to refrain from for a while.
It’s because I don’t want to speed up the chirashi.
Right then.
“……!”
As she left the lecture hall and entered the trail, something caught her eye.
“Ahh! This crazy dog again!?”
“Die! Die some!”
“Kyaaaaaagh! I was bitten! It hurts!”
There were familiar voices coming from behind the building.
Dolores moved to the source of the voice and witnessed a startling sight.
Youth Sphere Real Belt Yellow Love I’m Com Redmin South Middle.
The 2nd year bullies belonging to the Cold Weapons Donation Class B.
This group of 3 boys and 3 girls was making a fuss among themselves.
And in the middle, I see a black kitten puppy. It was a stray dog that
Dolores
called ‘Choco’.
When he was about to be expelled, he sent a delegation from the family level and prayed for it, so he received a memorandum saying that he would not bully the weak again, and he accepted it, but is he causing trouble again?
Dolores hastily stepped forward.
“You guys again!? You really have to be expelled once…!?”
But she couldn’t finish talking.
That was also the case because the six men and women in front of me were all covered in blood in tattered clothes.
Choco. This black puppy was moving swiftly, baring its teeth and claws like tenacity, and biting six people.
… growl!
If you see them moving, there is no beast. Despite his small body size, his fighting instinct was so great that his jaw dropped.
Its strength and speed were unmatched by most fighting dogs.
And these six clawed and bitten thugs were running away crying.
“Ah! If it’s not an appointment with the saintess, it’ll be okay!?”
“But I don’t think I can catch it even if I use mana! It just jumps out!”
“Kyaaaagh! What the hell is that dog! It’s so fast! Why is it so scary!”
Dolores stood with a dazed expression, watching the bullies disappear in the distance.
Nuclear nuclear nuclear –
The black puppy wanted to chase them for a while, but soon turned around and walked away.
“Hey Choco!”
Dolores called to the black puppy walking the other way.
……?
The boy turned his head as if he had heard his name.
Dolores trotted over to the stopped black puppy and reached out.
The black puppy backed away and avoided his touch, but Dolores steadfastly followed and picked him up.
‘Um…… is there a master who takes care of you? It smells like fur.’
Dolores buried her face in the black dog’s chin and neck and sniffed it.
A nice scent wafted from the soft fur. A very familiar scent.
Dolores quickly recognized the identity of the scent.
‘It smells like the basic amenity shampoo supplied in the academy dormitory. Looks like the owner is a student? Who is it?’
If your black puppy has had a bath, it’s probably in the dormitory.
Dolores opened her mouth, thinking that she should find out which of the students living in the dorm had a black dog.
“You… you’re stronger than you look? To kick out six people. But you can’t fight like that recklessly. You don’t attack like this, do you? That shouldn’t be the case.”
…
The black puppy is just looking the other way, whether or not he’s listening to Dolores.
When the guy seemed to be ignoring her, Dolores opened her mouth, half joking and half serious.
“Choco, you keep ignoring your sister and then you get neutered?”
Then the black puppy’s ears pricked up.
…Pat!
The boy hurriedly escaped from Dolores’ arms, kicked off the floor, and fled.
“Huh? Choco, wait!”
Dolores followed the black puppy, but it was much faster than expected and quickly disappeared into the bush.
“He’s a guy who doesn’t give his side. Like anyone~”
Dolores smiled.
These days, I think there are quite a lot of cases where men are different.
Whether the target is a night hound, vikir, or chocolate.
Right then.
“…… Nope.”
A moan came from the floor behind me.
When I turned my head, I saw a male student who had been chased by a black dog lying on the floor.
Youth Spear. He is one of the bullies in the 2nd year of Cold Weapons Donation.
Dolores let out a small sigh and stood in front of him.
“Then why did you bully the mute puppy again?”
“Oh, it’s unfair, Chairman! This time, that dog…… No, the dog attacked us first!”
“Does that make sense? How does that little kid attack you guys first?”
“No, the chairman saw it earlier too! That bastard’s teeth and nails are really sharp! And how fast he is, much faster than the wolves raised by our family…!”
“Stop. Excuse me now.”
Yuspear, who receives Dolores’ contemptuous glances, is truly unfair.
“Haa. In the past, I was beaten by the ‘Night Hound’, so why is there so little luck these days?”
Dolores flinched at the words of Yuspeare, who seemed to be passing by.
“……You. What did you mumble just now?”
“Yeah? Ah ah. Lack of luck doesn’t mean that… I really haven’t had anything these days…” ”
Other than that. Before that.”
“Huh? Ah, the night hound?”
Yuspeare hesitated for a moment, then brushed his bangs with his hand.
X
Then, there was a faint knife scar.
“…Before, I was walking down the street at night and got caught by some masked lunatic.”
“A masked madman?”
“Yeah. But I didn’t know at the time. Now that I think about it, I have the same impression as the villain of that night.”
Yuspeare’s testimony was astonishing.
According to his statement, Youspear and five of his bullies had met the ‘Night Hound’ in person.
That was even before the news of the night hound’s actions was reported in the media.
Dolores inquired with a serious expression.
“…So. The date you met the night hound is the freshman welcome day?”
“Yes yes. That’s right.”
“At that time, it was before the night hound was even called the night hound. It was before the terrorist act in the ecliptic. Is that right?”
“That’s right. I remember it clearly. That stork’s beak mask. A voice that sounded like scraping metal.”
Yuspeare continued, feeling intimidated by Dolores’ spirit.
“We also tried very hard to find it. We hired a secret agency. But all of them failed. He said he couldn’t catch his tail.”
“Of course. Even though the imperial guards and the imperial army chased it, they couldn’t catch it.”
“Because at that time, the hounds of the night weren’t so notorious. Now, the agency says they are crazy and will accept our request.”
Dolores was troubled after hearing Yuspeare’s words.
‘Why did the night hounds attack them?’
Dolores had investigated the background of these six bullies in detail in order to expel them.
According to the results of the investigation, these six bullies really had no circumference of activity except for the frog’s own territory and school.
‘ That’s why I won’t have any grudges with people outside. What does that mean?’
Apparently, the hounds of the night have something to do with this academy.
I felt that way strongly.
Yuspear said, trembling as if he recalled the nightmare of that day.
“He knows not only our names but also the location of our parents’ names and families in detail. There was.”
Dolores calculated quickly.
‘If you’re that familiar with school information, you’re probably not a freshman. At least a sophomore or a junior?’
It’s a hypothesis I’ve been thinking about for a long time. This increases the probability that the night hound’s informant exists inside the academy.
Perhaps, the probability that the night hound himself is in the academy even exists, albeit extremely slim.
“…”
Dolores said . He turned his head and looked down at Yuspear.
…Pat!
A white light rose and healed his wounds.
Yuspear looked up blankly, and Dolores said in a stern voice,
“You guys. Keep what you’ve just said a secret.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t tell anyone. I’ll take care of it from now on.”
At Dolores’ prompting, Yuspeare nodded blankly. He
could only see something in his eyes, so he probably understood that Dolores was trying to take credit for reporting their testimony.
But such a bully . The more you take, the weaker you are to the stronger.
Yousphere was only able to be released after promising not only himself but also his friends to crack down on his mouth.
“Remember, if someone else hears this, you’re expelled.
” I mean.
